THEIR pictures tell a story of life in lockdown.

And photographers Dylan Lombard and Brian Hartley have been brought together in an exhibition of their work in a Glasgow tenement back garden.

Images are to be displayed in a Pollokshields garden and open to the public to come and see over the weekend.

Dylan, 18, has just left Shawlands Academy and has a passion for photography.

He was diagnosed as deaf aged three, as autistic at seven and as having MDP, an extremely rare syndrome with only 13 known cases in the world, aged 10.

Dylan said: "It feels amazing to have my work being shown in a garden as it’s never been done before and I’m excited for people to see it.

"A lot of my images are mostly in black and white and mostly feature one person in them representing isolation.

"During Lockdown, a lot of people felt lonely and I tried to show that in my photographs."

The works will be on show today and tomorrow from 2pm til 4pm in the back garden of 61 Glencairn Drive, which can be accessed through a back lane off Shields Road.

Brian added: “It’s been great to see the work in print and it looks good seeing it in the garden, the photos hanging from clothes pegs on the washing line, on the railings and under the trees, the garden becomes part of the story of the exhibition.

"It becomes a space filled with history and stories, which it adds to the stories captured in the photographs."

The exhibition of photographs were taken during the lockdown of 2020 and provide a literal snapshot of that changed and unique landscape.

The decision to hold the exhibition in a tenement garden was not taken out of necessity with the closure of gallery spaces.

Instead, the idea behind it is to reflect one of the more positive things to emerge from the pandemic: a willingness for people to come together to share and experience things as neighbours and as part of a community.

Both photographers embrace that idea and have tried to capture images that are relevant to all of us.

All of Dylan’s photographs were shot in black and white and only during the day while Brian's are in colour and shot during day and night.

Neither photographer had met before the idea of curating an exhibition of their work was put to them.
